More connections with the world

According to the report delivered at the fifth session of the 10th Guiyang Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, Guiyang plans to take an active part in the Belt and Road Initiative and build itself into a major hub on a new international trade route spanning land and sea. 

It will complete the Guiyang-centered high-speed rail passenger transport system with lines going in eight directions, build the city into a major air transport hub in southwestern China, and speed up the construction of an expressway system that reaches the various cities and prefectures around Guiyang within three hours.

The city will promote logistics development by means of airports, railways, bonded areas, and highways and accelerate the building of a seamless logistics network inclusive of all forms of transportation. It will strive to create a national logistics big data center, form a new ecosystem for the road logistics industry in China, and gradually establish a modern logistics system that is comprehensive, smart, and eco-friendly.
